THE SKINNY: Using this product was a lesson in reading the information packet BEFORE using the product. I did not do that and my first experience with it was a little disastrous.
What Clinique Super City Block SPF 40 is not: A daily moisturizer with sunscreen.
What Clinique Super City Block SPF 40 is: A lightweight sunscreen that you can use in place of primer. (What a concept!)
Once I figured out how this product worked, I liked it -- a lot. It is a super light, non greasy sunscreen with SPF 40 that you can apply AFTER your moisturizer to help block the sun's damaging rays. It has a great little bit of tint and sheen to give you a glowy look even before you step outside.
It sets your makeup as well and no extra priming is necessary. This is a great summertime/hot day product. And now that I have used it a few times, I am not sure how I did without. It may sound cliche, but I really do feel cooler!
But be aware, this product really does nothing when worn alone. In my first attempt I used it as a moisturizer and wondered why my face was flaky and tight all day. (That's what I get for not reading more before rushing to judgment, I guess.)
KEEP OR TOSS: Keep. What a great concept.
